140790 ÷ 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 140790 can be divided by 17.

Step 1:
The number 17 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
14 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 140 / 17

On to step 3:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 136 from 140 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 17

On to step 4:
If we divide 47 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtract 34 from 47 to get 13.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 139 / 17

Moving on to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 139 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 828.0
Subtracting 136 from 139 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 30 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8281.0
If we take 17 away from 30, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
17 can be fit into 130 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8281.7
If we take 119 away from 130, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 110 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8281.76
Subtracting 102 from 110 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 80 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8281.764
Deduct 68 from 80 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
17 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8281.7647
Subtracting 119 from 120 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 10 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8281.7647
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8281.764705
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8281.7647058
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 136 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 140 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8281.76470588
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8281.76470588 with a balance of 4e-09.
